Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part.
When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the battery
compartment. The mains part can be obtained from specialist
retailers or from the service address using order number 071.60.
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood pres-
sure monitor must only be used with the mains part de-
scribed here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this
purpose on the blood pressure monitor. The mains part must
only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on
the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains
socket.
• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains
part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from
the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the
mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and
time setting but the saved measurements are retained.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas-
uring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight cloth-
ing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the upper
arm so that the lower edge is 2 to 3 cm
above the bend of the elbow and
above the artery. The tube should be in
line with the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the hook and loop
fastener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to fit
beneath the cuff. Insert the cuff tubing
into the socket for the cuff attachment.
Fasten the cuff with the hook and loop
fastener so that the upper edge of the
monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm
below the ball of your thumb.
